The 10 best nature trips in Berlin and Brandenburg
Berlin and its surroundings offer many green ways to escape crowded underground trains and big-city bustle and to recharge your batteries. These ten destinations range from the city all the way deep into Brandenburg. The Kienbergpark in Hellersdorf draws visitors with 60 hectares of parkland and a cable car, while the Plaenterwald in Treptow invites you to stroll along the banks of the Spree. Families find varied relaxation in the Freizeitpark Luebars in Reinickendorf. If you head further out, you can discover wild animals and a climbing park in the Wildpark Schorfheide, just under an hour away by car. In Bad Saarow on the Scharmuetzelsee, a moor spa and lake scenery beckon. Where would you like to breathe deeply next time?

For this list I looked for green retreats in Berlin and Brandenburg, from the Kienbergpark in Hellersdorf through the Plaenterwald in Treptow to the Wildpark Schorfheide in the countryside. I paid attention to how well you can switch off, how easy the destinations are to reach from the city, and what they have to offer in terms of nature. Here are my recommendations for gathering new strength.
